Smaller and plainer than Victorian houses, bungalows were also quite versatile, particularly with regard to their bedrooms; open-air sleeping porches, and space-saving "built-ins" like Murphy beds allowed bungalow owners to convert unfinished or underutilized areas of the house into sleeping quarters. As seen in the examples here, bungalow bedrooms were often trimmed with distinctive woodwork and decorated with wallpaper or stenciling, colorful textiles, and other handicrafts. This book is one of the compact surveys in the Bungalow Basics series by restoration consultant Paul Duchscherer, spotlighting a particular aspect of these pleasantly cozy, well designed, and affordable homes from the early 20th century. It features some 50 color photos of restored and well-preserved examples.
